Water flows through a pipe of diameter 300 mm with a velocity of 5 m/s. If the coefficient of friction is given by f = 0.015 + 0.08 Re^0.3, find the head loss due to friction for a length of 10 m of this pipe. Take v = 0.01 x 10 m/s.

Step 1
The Reynolds number is a dimensionless quantity that is used to predict the onset of turbulence in fluid flow. It is given by the formula Re = ρvd/μ, where ρ is the fluid density, v is the fluid velocity, d is the pipe diameter, and μ is the dynamic viscosity of Show more…

Find the diameter of a pipe of length 2000 m when the rate of flow of water through the pipe is 200 liters/s and the head lost due to friction is 4 m. Take the value of C = 50 in Chezy's formula.

A smooth pipe carries water at the rate of 300 L/s, with a kinematic viscosity of 10^-6 m/s and a head loss of 3 m in a 100 m length of pipe. Determine the pipe diameter using the equation f = 0.0032 + 0.221 / (Re)^0.237. Note that f represents the friction factor.
